As soon as Li Zicheng said this, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, and Gao Yigong stopped the action of baking the fire together, and just stared at Luo Hu with sword-like eyes.

"King Chuang, I don't dare to say anything else, but Xiaohuzi can confirm that before we defeat Kaifeng, Shandong will only be helpful to us, and there will not be a single soldier to move against us!"

The scar left by the arrow on Li Zicheng's face couldn't help but jump a few times, squinted his deep eye sockets, which were quite characteristic of Northwest people, stroked his beard, and began to think about Luo Hu's words.

"Little Huzi, your Zhenshan battalion is considered an old battalion pro-army. You said that Shandong would not attack us before we laid Kaifeng, when he would do it, how to do it, let's put it aside first. You tell us Uncle Yigong and General Sentry Liu Ye, in your opinion, how should we build this Kaifeng City? Li Guo, who likes Luo Hu very much on weekdays, saw that the atmosphere was a little dignified, and immediately came out to play a round for the little brother.

"Brother Buzhi, I'll just say one word, when it comes to war, you can't listen to the nonsense of those who haven't been on the battlefield!" Luo Hu is young and vigorous, and he is a person who has recently made great achievements, and he has no scruples about speaking in front of several high-level figures who broke into the camp.

Although he didn't come back for a long time, a group of little brothers and uncles came to talk to him, and now he is rich in his hands, horses, swords, firearms, armor, life-saving bags, etc., and there are really not enough things like those wind chickens, bacon, porcelain, etc., and naturally there are a lot of inside stories. The old man of the old eighth team was very dissatisfied with the fact that when he stormed Kaifeng that day, he gave up lightly because of Song Xiance's Jianghu warlock remarks.

This kind of affection naturally also affected Luo Hu.

"Luo boy! Then according to you, how can we Kaifeng solve it quickly? The burly Liu Zongmin moved his body slightly and moved the two long knives on his waist. Make your body more comfortable. These two long knives were also given to him by Luo Hu, and they were carefully made of iron and steel, and the style, weight, and even the accessories of the blade and the decoration of the scabbard all happened to scratch Liu Zongmin's itch.

He, Luo Hu and other members of the old eighth team attached so much importance to Li Zicheng, and Song Xiance was quite slanderous in their hearts.

This charlatan who is a fortune teller and diviner. After joining the camp, he did not mention any outstanding military knowledge. His military talent, not to mention Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi and other generals. is not even as good as Liu Tichun, Liu Fangliang, Zhang Nai and others, when it comes to military exploits, this little Luo Hu in front of him can throw that Song dwarf out of 108,000 miles. Talking about the contribution to the camp, popularity. The old immortal Shang Jiong is also a character who can't go into battle, but wherever people go, all battalions are respectful.

This cripple who is less than three feet tall can handle it is proficient in the Six Non Qi Gate Escape Method, as well as a number of diagrams, especially in the Wind Horn Ren Liu. As soon as he met Li Zicheng, he presented a picture of pushing the back picture: "Kyushu is in turmoil Li Jizhu, the main artifact of the eighteen children." ā€

Li Zicheng was overjoyed at that time. This means that the Li family is prosperous and ascends to the mandate of heaven. He has the appearance of an emperor.

However, in the eyes of the old eighth team and the old people who broke into the camp, these things can only be used to boost morale, if they can really have the appearance of an emperor, then why do we want to attack the city and plunder the land and fight to the death? Wait until you are ready to call yourself lonely at home!

Moreover, Liu Zongmin and the others have been having a terrible thought in their hearts recently. Let's King Chuang's surname is Li, but Uncle Ning Yuan's father and son are also surnamed Li. This Kyushu is in turmoil, Li Jizhu's proverbs, it may not be known who will fall on them! (And ah!) Huang Taiji and others in Liaodong are also suspected of having the surname Li! )

"King Chuang, Master Liu. Uncle Yigong, eldest brother of supplement, I also listened to the brothers of each battalion. This time our army attacked the open seal, although the offensive was fierce, but the setback was withdrawn, it was when the attack and defense of both sides were fierce, as long as the strength was increased, the city could be broken. However, because of the loss of hundreds of people, the generals and horses were withdrawn. In this regard, I have to say that our military soldiers are far inferior to the southern barbarians. If it does not change, if we meet on the battlefield in the future, even if our army and the Southern Barbarians change their equipment, they will still not be able to defeat the Southern Barbarians. ā€

Gao Yigong, who didn't speak for a long time, slowly opened his mouth.

"Little Huzi, these old battalion brothers you went to have walked for months, and when they came back, they always mentioned those barbarian soldiers. This and that makes people's ears flutter when they hear it. But it is not the point. It's rare for King Chuang to have free time today, so why don't you pick up some important things and talk to King Chuang. If you can use it in my camp, we will see the wise and think together! ā€

Several generals are talking to Luo Hu in secret, with high cheekbones, high nose and deep eyes, a cotton coat made of blue Songjiang standard cloth on his body, a white felt hat on his head, and the red tassels on the felt hat are a little sparse and the color has been lost, and Li Zicheng, who does not seem to have much gap with the farmers in Henan, also nodded and promised with a smile.

The generals are dissatisfied and disdainful of Niu and Song, and he is also very clear.

As far as Li Zicheng is concerned, although he attaches great importance to Niu Jinxing and others, he does not care about their tactics of war on paper, and when it comes to fighting, his instinctive experience from many years of bloody battles is much stronger than these rhetorical literati.

He used Niu Jinxing mainly for the purpose of managing logistics, formulating rules and regulations, winning people's hearts, and recruiting talents.

The habits accumulated in China for thousands of years, in the writings of these literati, when a generation of founding kings or a dynasty is born, there will always be some auspicious proverbs, which are all signs of God-given careers to prove the legitimacy of the dynasty. For example, Liu Ji's house, in order to say that his bloodline is noble, actually said that his mother gave birth to him after a shot with the dragon in the sky in the wilderness, and also found a circumstantial evidence, that is, his nose is relatively large, the so-called Long Zhun. (Well, is the big nose the seed of the dragon?) Then, the anti-drug ambassador who went in because of drugs not long ago seems to have a big nose, could it be that the is also ......, smack! Don't hit me! And it has to be related to famous families. For example, the Li family in Longxi is obviously of Xianbei blood, but it is related to Lao Tzu Li Er. I don't know if Taishang Laojun knows, will he throw the green ox or the diamond circle down and smash Li Shimin, who recognizes his ancestors. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, when others repaired his family tree. resolutely opposes the involvement of Zhu Xi with him. said that he was born in Huaixi cloth clothes and begging for food, which is also a kind of psychological confidence of a strong man. However, not all people have this kind of self-confidence. At least Li Zicheng doesn't have this kind of self-confidence at the moment.

Therefore, he needs a drummer like Niu Song and Song to carry a sedan chair for him.

After the proverb came out, the low-level officers and ordinary soldiers in the camp all believed that King Chuang was favored by God. The divine mandate of heaven will be invincible in the future. Facts have also proved that this is the case, every time Song Xiance divination predicts the victory or defeat, the camp is always invincible and unfavorable, and the military factors and spiritual factors account for how much, the ghost knows!

However, for Li Yan, Li Zicheng had other plans to reuse, because he saw that Li Yan was a person who could use literature and martial arts. Indeed, in history, Li Yan was awarded the title of deputy general of the middle battalion. Yue Hou, second only to Liu Zongmin. In the army, he respected his military merits, and his military talent was undeniable, and he arbitrarily regarded him as a weak scholar. Moreover, Li Yan himself is also a humble gentleman, kind to people, and compatible with all the generals of the army. At this time, he was mainly responsible for the relief of the hungry, and he was quite famous among the poor people who received the relief. Whether it is from its own fame and prestige, it is much stronger than the Jianghu warlock Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who only has a title on his body.

"Luo Hu. You just have to say, how did Ning Yuanbo and Li Weiru lead the troops. How to use soldiers. ā€

"Yes! King Chuang. According to my observation, the method of Ning Yuanbo's father and son leading and using soldiers is nothing more than two words, leading soldiers is love, and using soldiers is ruthless! ā€

Well? That's kind of interesting! The four people present all raised their spirits and prepared to listen carefully to Luo Hu's high theory.

Luo Hu got up and ordered someone to fetch some meat. Put it next to the stove and ask Li Zicheng and others to taste it, it is a little supper.

"King Chuang, the so-called leading soldiers. Let's start with these few things. He pointed to the meat porcelain jars, wind chickens, plate ducks and other things for Li Zi and said. Raising soldiers on weekdays, what should soldiers eat and use; It has been ordered for a long time. In the Southern Cantonese Army. The so-called food for generals and soldiers is only the difference between large stoves and small stoves, and the difference between rough and fine. ā€

"Even Ning Yuanbo's father and son are the same?" Li Zicheng was a little surprised, although he left a reputation in history for being coarse and poor, but he couldn't let the entire generals who broke into the camp do it like this. But Li Shouhan can do this, and he can't help but be surprised.

"If there is a large army with him, Uncle Ning and his son will casually go to the cooking cart in a certain camp and order someone to serve him a meal, firstly to express the meaning of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, and secondly, to check the quality of the meal. For a long time, the generals of each battalion naturally did not dare to make a mistake, and there were more laws such as military salaries, pensions, and land grants, so they could get the death force of the soldiers. ā€

"This is the love of leading soldiers, you tell our old Liu about the ruthlessness of using soldiers." Liu Zongmin rubbed his hands with some excitement, allowing the oil on his hands to penetrate into the rough and chapped skin.

"Liu Ye, the Nanyue Army is known as a barbarian soldier, and most of the troops are from Lingnan, which is not suitable for the northern climate. When winter comes, frostbite is extremely severe, and no matter how much you wear it, no matter how thick the grease on your hands and face is, no matter how much you prevent it, you can't avoid it. If you change to another army, I'm afraid that it will collapse a long time ago, but how did the Nanyue army do it? Ning Yuanbo's eldest daughter, the county lord Li Huamei, personally led the troops to attack Tashan in the face of the severe cold, and Ning Yuanbo also led the Nanyue army to circle with Abatai in Shandong. Although it is said that the progress of the Nanyue Army was not smooth at first and suffered some setbacks, those of us who led the troops also knew that the opponents of the Nanyue Army suffered heavier losses. In the face of an opponent like the Nanyue Army, if you are negligent, you will suffer a fatal blow. Because people do not avoid the sky when they fight, they do not pick the geographical advantage, and they are always human. ā€

"There is a saying in the Nanyue Army, which is called not afraid of casualties, not afraid of running away, not afraid of starvation. Let's see who can make it to the end! In my opinion, what we lack is the strength of these Nanbans. The people saw the target, lost one battalion, followed by the next battalion, and the attacks were continuous and morale was unswerving. In the face of such an opponent, King Chuang, please think about it, and ask which of the officials and armies in various places has it? Don't say that the officials and troops in various places are the thieves in Liaodong, and when they encounter the southern barbarian soldiers, they will be defeated at the slightest contact. ā€

"What a brute spirit! I have been fighting for so many years, and it is the first time I have heard of such an opponent! Liu Zongmin was very excited by Luo Hu's words, and couldn't help but pull out the saber from his waist in half, and then put the knife into the sheath. Cang Langlang's voice was endless.

"King Chuang, it's not that I have the ambition of others, let's break into the camp, although there are many people now. This brute force is missing! ā€

Li Guo and Gao Yigong also built a yƬ to Li Zicheng together.

Liu Zongmin's words were more direct: "King Chuang, what Song Xiance offered, what did Kyushu say about the chaos of Li Jizhu, don't forget, Li Weiru, who has a strong army in his hand and is based in the city, is also surnamed Li!" Visible. If King Chuang wants to achieve great things, the Nanyue Army is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed! Only when we have the strength equal to the Nanyue Army can we dominate the world! ā€

Li Zicheng pondered for a while, "Luo Hu, if it were you, how would you break through this Kaifeng Jiancheng?" ā€

"King Chuang, if I come to command the siege before I go to Shandong, it will only be a trick for a few days. However, these months have come down. I've got some knowledge. We might as well do that. ā€

On the one hand, Luo Hu took the cups, plates, chopsticks and other things on the table, compared them on the table, and talked about his tactical ideas for the four people, and Li Zicheng and the others couldn't stop nodding yes. In his heart, he couldn't help but be awe-inspired, "It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this?!" ā€

Luo Rucai, who is also the commander of the peasant army and known as Cao Cao, lives a better life than Li Zicheng to the sky.

Fanta Temple three miles away in the southeast corner of Kaifeng City. It is the location of Cao Cao's old camp, and the old camp is full of the sound of silk and bamboo music. There was a lot of laughter from the crowd.

It was Cao Yingzhong who would pick up Wang Long's wind and wash the dust.

Cao Cao's tent has a group of wives and concubines, all of them are dressed in silk and satin, and they are dressed up in flowers. Now there are many generals and generals, and the army also raises opera troupes and dancing girls. Today, the troupe will be called to play, and the dancing girl will sing and dance.

Watching the beauties under the tent singing and dancing happily in the brightly lit hall, Cao Cao and his generals couldn't help but be very proud. Wine and meat are even more expensive.

"To be a thief is to do our part, it can be regarded as a taste!"

"Uncle, we're not thieves!" Wang Long's eyes were red, and some big tongues corrected Cao Cao's slip of the tongue.

"We're not thieves, what's it?" Cao Cao's eyes were also slightly red. He looked at his nephew with some surprise. This nephew has been separated from him for a few months, and the changes in his body can be seen with the naked eye.

"Uncle, after a few days of messing around with the young marshal of the Nanyue Army, I don't care about my own thief anymore! We are not called thieves, we are called rebels, who are thieves? It was the officers who stole the salaries, rations, armor and weapons from the soldiers, and the officials and gentlemen who took the land and grain from the farmers! It's the rich businessmen who make a lot of money but don't pay a penny in taxes! We, wherever we go, rob the rich and help the poor, and give relief to the victims, we can be regarded as the strength to resist these guys! Let's snatch something from these thieves and come back, are we thieves?! ā€

"Well said! Wang Lung said this powerfully! Sun Shenzu and the others applauded one after another, raising the wine glass in their hands to express their approval to Wang Lung.

"This kid! After going out for a few days, I can increase my ability! Luo Rucai scolded with a smile, and looked at Wang Lung with some approval, "Tell me, what other skills have you learned?" ā€

"Uncle, let me tell you! This time I went to Shandong, in addition to the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, the biggest gain was to meet a few people. After seeing these people, I realized what it means to be upside down in this world. In addition to the ones just now, they also told me that whoever is a soldier is a thief. Who is righteous. Anyway, there are a lot of words I don't understand, so let them tell you in person when they have time! ā€

"We are thieves, of course Lao Zuo and Zhang Ling are soldiers! They are on the court's salary! Sun Shenzu on the side groped up and down on a Luoyi woman, and responded to Wang Long in his mouth.

"Wrong! You're wrong, grandson! Zuo Liangyu and the others are just one of those national thieves, and they are just lackeys and thugs hired by those big thieves of the country! If these people use the money they take from us to do business, such as buying and selling in Tuntian, they can do it, but what do they do? Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are a scourge for good people! Ning Yuanbo said, is it a good person who does not look at the status and the contribution of the post, the cultivator works diligently, the worker goes to work on time, and the businessman pays taxes in full, only such a person is a good citizen. If you can't do it, it's all parasites and national thieves. ā€

"It is said that wherever we go, loot and burn, go to his ancestors for eighteen generations! When we were fighting in Sichuan and Huguang, we bought grain, rice, oil and salt from the people by buying and selling them publicly, and we also distributed relief to the hungry people. But what did the old leftists do? Don't dare to offend the big gentry and grain households, so they will loot the small people of Shengdou! Phew! A thing that bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard! ā€

Hearing Wang Long's bloody scolding of his old enemy Zuo Liangyu, the generals of Cao Ying suddenly felt refreshed, it turned out that Zuo Liangyu was the big thief, the one who worked for the tiger, we are righteous teachers! What's more, just now everyone had already listened to Wang Lung tell them about Wuqiao back then. Zuo Liangyu's elite was killed by the Nanyue Army, and he didn't even dare to put a fart, isn't it bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?

"And! Uncle, don't think that those scholars are some kind of goodies, some kind of goods with bones. ā€

Wang Lung's words seem to have a bit of a map cannon flavor. Ji Qi and Ji Ziyu, who were sitting alone on the side, had a red and white face. Some want to have a seizure, or walk away, but they don't have the guts.

Although Wang Lung was a little drunk, his eyes were still sharp, and Ji Lung's expression changed, how could he hide it from him?

"Lao Tzu is in Shandong, what he kills is the big gentry, and what he slaughters is the scum among the scholars, what do they dare to do? Didn't you have to obediently implement Ning Yuanbo's new policy of reducing rent and interest rates, and integrating officials and gentry to pay grain? I'm not blowing it on you. Any idea what happened to us as we went? When Lao Tzu left, the official gentry of Shandong held high a banner with something written on it, resolutely supporting the new policy and sending off the Dragon and Tiger Camp. I almost didn't laugh to death at that time! Why did you go earlier? Now pretend to be a good person. It's not that Lao Tzu's knife is hard, so he becomes a shrinking turtle one by one. If Lao Tzu hadn't hurried back to see his uncle, let his uncle see these soldiers, horses, knives and guns, and pick out the nest of the dogs in Qufu by the way! So. Our Cao Ying is upright and upright, and we are the kings who support justice. Otherwise, why did the people send each other ten miles away when we left? And the official gentry and Zuo Liangyu are the thieves, where they go to hide the common people for ten miles. ā€

When these words came out, Ji Jue could no longer pretend not to hear in the hall, so he got up and left under the excuse of being relieved. Looking at Ji Jue's departing figure, Wang Lung couldn't help but snort.

"Boy! That's a good point. Let the brothers be justified in the future. However, you have learned to be sharp in your teeth when you go out this time. Cao Cao didn't think much of his nephew's behavior, but appreciated it.

"Uncle. When did I know when I could play with my mouth!? I've got you covered! ā€

Wang Lung blinked narrowly and grimaced. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively. The generals of Cao Ying all received various gifts from Wang Lung. There are differences depending on the person's hobbies and temperament.

Those who like weapons are good swords and armor, those who like horses are high-quality war horses full of fat and fat and oily, and those who like gold, silver and jewelry are given gems and pearls. Those who like to collect beautiful women in the tent are to send silk stockings, lace suspenders and other boudoir toys woven from ice silk.

For a while, Cao Ying's generals also praised Wang Long, this kid is sensible!

Today, I heard that there are good things dedicated to Cao Cao, and I can't help but let out bursts of thief light in everyone's eyes, can the things that can be dedicated to Cao Cao be ordinary things?

"Boy! What else do you do? What other treasures? The four Tianzhu orchids you stuffed to Lao Tzu almost broke Lao Tzu's waist! Are you planning to kill your uncle? ā€

Wang Lung spent a lot of money to buy four Tianzhu orchids in Jinan City, with a waist like a spirit snake and eyebrows like skin and snow. When it was dedicated to Cao Cao that day, everyone who had been hungry for a long time drooled. Today, the generals heard Cao Cao so pretending to blame Wang Long, and suddenly screamed strangely.

"Commander, why don't you reward your brothers?"

"Handsome! The last general is willing to share the worries and solve problems for the commander! ā€

After a lot of noise, Wang Lung offered what he said was good. The living treasure is true, but it is not a peerless beauty, but a few unshaven officers. Looking at the color of the military uniform, it is a person from the Beijing camp.

Suddenly made everyone depressed.

"What's this good stuff? There is a battle down! ā€

Someone muttered.

"Yes?" Wang Lung pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to hold the hand of a man in the Beijing camp: "This, the gunner of the Shenji Battalion, not to mention his own artillery, has learned the art of artillery command from the Nanyue Army. To operate, dozens of cannons listen to the orders of one person, just bombard one target! ā€

"This is the commander of the 3,000 battalions! The first person to follow Liao Dongzhi to learn the tactics of the Nanyue Army Horse Team! The horse team entered like a wall, and even the horse Tiefutu had heard of Mr. Storyteller, right? His horse team can! When the impact came, dozens of horses were in a row, pressing over like a mountain of knives! ā€ā€¦ā€¦

The abilities of several people were introduced by Wang Lung one by one, and everyone was drunk and fascinated.

"These are all heroes!"

After Wang Lung sent these people out of the hall to continue drinking, Cao Cao came back to his senses for a long time and burst out a few words from between his teeth.

"That's nature! Otherwise, how could I be willing to spend that much? Wang Lung was very proud, and his uncle Luo Rucai nodded.

These undesirable people in the Beijing camp were dug up or abducted from the Beijing camp by Wang Lung with a one-time payment of 1,000 yuan in silver, a monthly military salary of 150 yuan, and the same conditions as Wang Lung's diet.

In order to use it for Cao Ying's horse team and artillery team!

"Uncle, think about it, if our artillery team is not as elite as the Nanyue Army, as long as it can be like the artillery team of the Shenji Battalion, what kind of city can't be captured? How many silver coins can't get antique books? With these silver coins and antiques and other valuable things, how much food and weapons can't we buy? Nowadays, in these years, there is food, weapons, and an army, and we have hundreds of thousands of troops in hand. ā€

Two days later, the battle for Kaifeng started again, and unlike the previous times, this time it was Luo Hu, the hairy boy who broke into the camp, who commanded the siege. (To be continued......)
